Opinions are like assholes...Everyone has one.

LinkedIn Discussion Groups allows users to meet people with likeminded interests and share thoughts/opinions about any and every topic. I, obviously, am in a ton of Social Media groups as I find it incredibly interesting to see what is being said or shared about current trends. I recently posted my first discussion opinion: (my response is in purple)

How Much is Too Much? How Much is Not Enough? How Often do you Tweet for Your Business?

My goal is to tweet 2-3 times per day for my company, Face Time Marketing. On my personal twitter account however, I find myself tweeting more. I think it's because I feel a bit less constrained by the conventions of business communication.

I follow several people that I would like to hear more from. I also have some that over-tweet for my taste. What do you think is the Magic Number?
And for that matter... follow us on Twitter @facetimePDX

I've just started a Twitter account for my company, FastLane Hires and I've found that it's best practice to have a simple strategy: 1/3 be something about your company, 1/3 about your industry and a 1/3 misc. Readers want to learn more than they want to be sold...marketing your name just comes along with the territory.

That said - I don't think there is one award winning formula...Just know your audience and treat them as if they were acquaintances from your personal account. Nobody wants a full-time advertisement in their face - that's why social media has become successful.

Best bet: Keep them engaged and keep a balance of the type of tweets you post.
